May 2021
Time's lost meaning
Barren garden
Evil tasted
Purity wasted

Carcass soils
Unwanted plow
Harvest dead
In compost bed

Garden walls
Too high to climb
Nightmare's doom
Living tomb

Bartered soul
Wasting away
Piercing battle
Breeding cattle

Bruised leaves droop
Limp, resigned
Cruelty comes
Spilling plums

Torn from inside
Sanctity gone
Hatred steals
Evil feels

Moon cycle storms
Flooded and choked
Thorns' tight wrap
Ooze ichor sap

Planted seeds
Deep in belly
Grow sweet fruit
Of bitter root

No safe haven
None mother nurture
Promised decay
Predator's prey

Nothing grows good
In black eden
Sapling dies
Winter cries

Weeding excavates
Mum foundations
Plans unfold
In stories told

Childhood warnings
Heeded, forgot
Beware the loss
Beyond the moss

Innocence ends
Freedom won
Chewing leaf
Full body relief

Break in nature
Rules discarded
Time to fly
In inky sky
